Read the scenario.A news program decides to raise awareness of how climate change affects tribal fishing in the Pacific Northwest. The program broadcasts three reports on different parts of the problem. It airs stories on ways climate change affects tribal fish farms, efforts to block mining companies that endanger salmon populations, and ways tribes have adapted to climate change.

The program is acting as an agenda setter because it chooses to focus public attention on climate change’s effects on tribal fishing. By airing several reports about fish farms, threats to salmon, and tribal adaptations, it signals that this issue deserves attention. A watchdog typically investigates and holds powerful organizations accountable, which is not the main role described here.
